No, it's easy. You'll need to take the carpet covered side panels off the ceter PB tunnel then there are a few screws that hold it to the tunnel and 2 in the front that holds it to the shifter console. You will find it easier to work on it if you remove the seats (not mandatory but helpful). I have the left seat and side panel off my 78' right now if you need any kind of photos.

There's no ebrake console per se in an '81. You should have only a plastic cover to replace. AIM shows the installation. It snaps into place.
